Doctor postponed surgery due to counselor letter.

GOT A CALL FROM BTC IN ANN ARBOR MI. THIS MORNING. DOCTOR HAS CANCEL MY SURGERY DATE BECAUSE HES NOT HAPPY WITH COUNSELORS LETTER TO GO AHEAD WITH SURGERY. VERY UPSET ALL DAY. BTC IS GOING TO CALL ON MONDAY WITH APPOINTMENT TO SEE THEIR PSYC AND TO GET APPROVAL FOR SURGERY AGAIN. THIS HAS BEEN THE WORST DAY FOR ME. I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO HAVE WLS SINCE FEB.1999. I ATTEND SUPPORT MEETING AND HAVE BEEN THOUGH COUSELING (WHICH SHE HAS APPROVED ME FOR SURGERY) AND HAVE HAD LOTS OF SUPPORT FROM THIS WEB SITE. I HAVE ALREADY PUT IN FOR TIME OFF AT WORK AND HAVE PREPARED FOR MY DAUGHTERS CARE WHILE IN HOSPITAL. I DONT UNDERSTAND WHY THE DOCTOR HAD NOT LOOKED AT MY FILE BEFORE THEY SHEDULE MY SURGERY. I NOW WILL HAVE TO WAIT TILL JAN OR FEB IF THE PHYC APPROVES ME FOR SURGERY. I AM TRYING TO FIND POSITIVE THINGS ABOUT THE DELAY. BUT ITS NOT EASY WHEN I WAS ALL PREPARED MENTALY FOR SURGERY IN DEC. OH WELL I WILL KEEP TRYING. ANY WORDS OF ENCOURAGMENT WELCOMED. THANKS FOR LISTENING. LOUISE
